Este trabalho de conclusão de curso tem como objetivo identificar os motivos que levam ao
abandono do desporto em Timor-Leste, considerando as variáveis sexo, modalidade
desportiva e nível competitivo dos atletas. Através de uma abordagem qualitativa, foram
aplicados questionários a 113 ex-atletas timorenses de diferentes modalidades e níveis
competitivos. Os questionários abordaram os fatores como "insatisfação/outras prioridades,
“competências técnicas”, “ambiente de grupo”, “desafio/competição”, “exigências e pressões
do desporto”, “reconhecimento social e recompensas”, e “outros significados” enfrentados
durante suas trajetórias desportivas. Os resultados indicam uma diferença significativa entre
os sexos, sendo o fator “insatisfação/outras prioridades” o principal motivo ao abandono. Além
disso, foi observada uma diferença significativa em relação ao nível competitivo, com os exatletas de nível local a sublinharem o fator “outros significados”, onde a pratica desportiva
pode ser mais integrada à vida social e familiar com sérias implicações no progresso de
formação desportiva; o fator “insatisfação/outras prioridades” foi o principal motivo do
abandono apontado pelos ex-atletas de nível nacional e internacional. Não foram encontradas
diferenças significativas entre as modalidades desportivas, indicando que os motivos de
abandono são consistentes entre as modalidades desportivas. É nossa expectativa que os
resultados obtidos que possam ser úteis para estimular futuros esforços conjuntos entre
governo, escolas e comunidades locais no sentido de serem promovidas políticas desportivas
mais eficazes e num ambiente favorável à prática contínua do desporto em Timor-Leste.
The purpose of this final study is to identify the reasons why people drop out of sports in TimorLeste, considering the variables of gender, sport, and the competitive level of the athletes. Using a qualitative method, questionnaires were administered to 113 former athletes from Timor-Leste across different sports and competitive levels. The questionnaires addressed factors such as “dissatisfaction/other priorities,” “technical skills,” “group environment,” “challenge/competition,” “demands and pressures of sport,” “social recognition and rewards,” and “other meanings” faced during their sporting careers. The results suggest a significant difference between genders, with “dissatisfaction/other priorities” being the main reason for dropping out. Additionally, a significant difference was observed concerning the competitive level. Ex-athletes at the local level highlighted the "other meanings" factor, where sports practice can be more integrated into social and family life, which has serious implications for the progress of sports training. Meanwhile, at the national and international levels, the "dissatisfaction/other priorities" factor was the main reason for dropout. On the other hand, no significant difference was found between sports, indicating that the reasons for dropping out are consistent across different sports. We hope that the results obtained will be useful in stimulating future joint efforts between the government, schools, and local communities to promote more effective sports policies and a favorable environment for the continued practice of sports in Timor-Leste.
